Formulation Deep Dive

OSEA Malibu’s Advanced Repair Eye Cream is formulated as a high-performance, lipid-rich emulsion designed to target deep hydration and the visible signs of periorbital aging. The carrier system is built on a sophisticated blend of Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter and Squalane, structured with Cetearyl and Sorbitan Olivate to create a biomimetic liquid crystal structure that enhances skin barrier integration. The formula’s active performance is driven by Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline, a plant-derived collagen precursor, working synergistically with Caffeine to stimulate microcirculation and Bacillus Ferment to support the skin’s microbiome. Botanical extracts including Fucus Vesiculosus (Bladderwrack) and Aesculus Hippocastanum (Horse Chestnut) provide targeted anti-inflammatory and drainage benefits to reduce puffiness. The formulation is stabilized through a rheology-modifying network of Xanthan Gum and Behenyl Alcohol, while ensuring long-term integrity through a clean-label preservative system comprising Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, and Caprylhydroxamic Acid.
